About Suno

We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfillment of making music. Music is for everyone: Our users include everyone from grandmothers creating songs for their loved ones, to Grammy winners using Suno Studio, our power tool, to make the most popular hits in the world.

Building the future of entertainment requires ambition. The pace is fast, the problems are hard, and the work demands ownership and intensity. For the right people, it’s incredibly rewarding: a chance to shape a new medium, work with a small team that cares deeply about quality, make music, drink too much coffee, and build something that millions of people use to express themselves in ways that were never before possible.

Suno is the fastest growing consumer entertainment company and the leader in AI music. We are backed by leading investors including Bond Capital, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, IVP, Forerunner, Union Square Ventures, Alkeon, Quiet, Matrix Partners, Schroders Capital and, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA).

About the Role

As one of the first hires on Suno's accounting team you'll be a true generalist, the person who can pick up whatever the close, the auditors, or the business throws your way and run with it. Reporting to the Director of Accounting, you'll own meaningful pieces of the monthly close, help carry the company through its first-year audit and toward IPO readiness, and bring a measured, meaningful approach to AI that unlocks the efficiency expected of a best-in-class team. We're looking for a doer who wants to build: someone who'll set up a process, document it, operate it, and then automate it. If you want broad exposure and the chance to shape how a fast-growing AI company does its accounting, this is the seat.
